Secretary -Ehirey ana the British
Naval Designs.
TL. explanations of Secretary
Wl... a--s his purchase Of de
-f-n- r.r improved machinery fer ,a"
-...-... ar-H- soma very practir'l
Iu. facts seem to he aboU, these:
one }Ir White Of England, prepared
SOME designs for machinery Of crUle-
er- ly which tLey were made to
atrai. -g-at speed The British
government purchased two Of these
designs. Mr.. White then prepared
duplicates. which Secretary Whitney
purchased at greatly reduced prices
lIr White was then chosen by the
British government as chief con
e.ruct.~ IF the English admiralty
the gyv. rument Of course knowing
nothing Of his sale Of plans 70 SIR
Whitney.
In tle course Of the construction
Of It's cruisers. the British govern
men. found out that the American
government was using exactly the
same designs. 1t becomes indignant
and raises the cry of foul play: dis
charge part of its employees and
makes serious charges agaiast the
American Legation of having stolen
t. plans.
Whether or not Mr.. White had a
night, having sold his plans once to
the British, TO sell them again to the
American government is a question
upon which there is a great variety
Of opinions. 1t always has appeared
to u that the design belonged to
the purchaser, but architects general
ly claim otherwise.
Again, how the British government
found out just what the Amer
lean cruisers We're going 10 be, is an
interesting question, unless they did
some underhand spying. Again the
superiority of the British designs Is
Il question OF great interest 10
Americans Mr.. Whitney claims
that the British designs guarantee
97o hora. power per ton OF machinery
while the best American designs
/ guaranteed but 527 holse power. 1t
Is quite surprising with this showing
Of superiority that the English boats
-arc to make but twenty miles per
hour-aot an extraordinary speed.
II certainly Is not difficult to find
American boats which can make from
Is 10 Il miles per hour. Some OF
the Atlantic ''greyhounds" make %
and - miles an hour with heavy loads,
Another Of Mr.. Whitney's reasons for
purchase was that he saved $4,000
in the bargain over what he would
have had to pay American braughts-
men for similar work. OF course this
confession of British superiority and
the economy of cheep second hand
plans IS not very stimulating to
American workmen. In case of emer
! gency 4 good draughtsmen might be
worth more than $4,000 to Amerla.
but economy is the wGtchword of this
administration, even if it does hum
bic America in the eyes of the world.
We suspect a tariff on English naval
designs would be servicable to the
amicable relations of the countries
We cannot but feel that it was IN
35licate ia IIr Whitney to purchase
duplicated plans of English cruisers,
We hope, however, it will lead to a
final determination of the right Of
the draughtsman, Mr. White, 10 sell
plans which he had once sold.

Excellence of Americans in Sports.
From The London Times.


Unfortunately, the result of the [Volun-
teer-Thistle] race seems to prove that we
have not yet mastered the secret of success.
We must try again, that is all, and we must
keep on trying until we do succeed. A
glance at the work ON American Yachts
and Yachting" which has lately been pub
lished, with copious illustrations, by Messrs.
Cassell, will show what immense pains and
skill the Americans devote to the art of
building fast sailing vessels. The truth is
that with them yacht racing is even more a
serious and absorbing pursuit than it is with
Englshmen, and when an American devotes
himself to task of practical skill he is apt
to be hard TO beat in it. Americans have
not so many outdoor pursuits as we have,
but such as they have they take very serl-
ously. They have given us the best fishing
rods, and their skill in casting the fly would
put our best anglers on their mettle. They
can shoot and they can ride in their own
way as well as the best of us, as the wild
West has shown We can hold our own in
rowing, but they beat us in sailing. They
are beginning to compete with us in horse
racing, and in trotting matches they have
no rivals. They are nowhere beside us in
cricket, but their skill in base ball, game
which has a science of its own, is marvellous

HARD LINES.
Shocking Life Led by Laborers on the
Panama Canal


From the San Francisco Examiner.
Robert l.. Knox, who has been connected
with the Panama railway for the past six
months, was a passenger on the steamer
Acapulco, which arrived here Sept. 16. He
was braking on the railway, and resigned
his position several weeks before sailing.
II left Ba fillmore last winter" he said,
ito look after work. | had been idle for
some time, and didn't care much what l
took hold Of. got an offer to go to Panama
and brake on the railway, and thinking OF
what had been told of the climate, and be-
Ing glad enough to get an opportunity togo
TO work, accepted the offer.
II arrived at Panama in due season, and
was about to begin work two days. after
leaving the steamer when / was seized with
a terrible fever. The air is thick and UNI
healthy, and could hardly breathe. was
convalescent at the end of a week, but
had something of the appearance of
skeleton, being only a ghost of my former
self
It's not necessary to relate my own ex-
perience; what was mine was that of every
one who goes there to stay.

cattle when disease spreads among them
On one place on the line daily funeral trains
are run. The cemetery is fourteen miles
from Aspinwall, and in the rainy season
have seen five trains drive down there
They have curious way of hurying
people there. When the train reaches the
graveyard the corpse is thrown into hole
or feet deep, and the coffin is taken back
to carry some other poor unfortunate to his
last resting place
II went down one day to see the canal la
borers at work, and / never will forget
what | saw there About 400 men were at
work i'll tits one place. Every nationality
was represented. There was the Scandina-
Wan toiling in his mechanical way the Hi
bernian was joking while he shoveled the
African negro, the Jamaica negro, Mexi-
cans, English, French, Russians, Turks, all
were there, and the John Chinaman, with
his natty queue, worked in broken-heart-
ed manner, signing for the Flowery King
dom which he left, hoping to better his for
tunes in foreign country.
Nv here the men were at work the ground
was soft-muddy you would call il here.
When it is muddy there the ground is like
mush 2 feet deep. It was soft that day and 50
or more fresh colored fellows had been
brought in. In the afternoon the heat and
the air had their effects upon them. and one

head by the excavating machine He was
killed The body was Immediately hoistsd
into the dumping tube, sent through the
machine, and that was the last seen of him.
You can see some shocking sights down
there.
s"At nightfall when the men are through
work for the day they begin nights de
bauch on whisky struggled into camp.
Whisky is not allowed around, but it is i'm
possible for the superintendent to enforce
the rules. The mon will drink. If they did
not believe they would go crazy. When
they become intoxicated nothing will sat
isfy them but fight.
"If they would fight with their fists it
would not be so bad, but long, sharp knives
are drawn, sand are red with blood before
sheathed again Sometimes the most horri-
BILE butcheries are committed, and while one
man is being stabbed and hacked to pieces,
the others stand off and jeer, and comment
on the beauty of the contest.
SIN big city you can see human nature
in bad forms, but the worst forms of vice
practised in New York, and London and
Paris are nowhere when compared with
what can be seen every day on the isthmus.
after one of the contractors on the rail
way shot one of the canal-workers who
attempted his life, they are very careful
how they treat the railway hands. The
latter go well armed, and on the first motion
made by any of the blacks the pistol is
drawn. If the conductors were not careful
and fearless the trains would be held up
frequently.
THE American government has not the
name that England has on the Isthmus of
Panama.
lone reason is that the United States does
not protect her citizens in foreign country.
If the conductor who shot the native last
winter had been an Englishman there would
have been less trouble.n

THE CAMEL NOT PATIENT.
He is Most Grumblesome Beast and
Has an Unpleasant Way of Dying.
From the Ne,0 York Times.


From. the Ne,c York Times
The camel is very unlovely and unlov-
able beast, in spite of the dictum of Mr.
John Bright, who, in the winter of 1SS4-'S5,
pathetically spoke of the authority of his
inner consciousness, or perhaps of a stray
visit to the London Geological Gardens.
where he might have seen one carrying
children, of the patient camel in the Soudan
accomplishing under his heavy load Not
only does he makes more row about his
burden than any other beast that is used by
man, but whether he is being loaded or un-
loaded, he bowls and shrieks with rage, and
woe betide the man, other than his regular
and feared driver, who is incautious enough
to get within reach at such a time of his
sharp and long teeth, which make as
ugly a wound as a doctor could dream
of. The natural history of the
camel may be left to the authors of
more or less learned works upon the NAM
malta of the animal kingdom, but there is
one of his characteristics which they all,
with one consent, have failed to note. 1t is
his supercilious aspect. The one-humped
than a British duchess in one of Mr.. George
du Maurier's pictures. Probably the car
riage of the head; possibly the full and mex
pressive eye; certainly the peculiarly-slit
nostrils account for much of this air of
lofty disdaln which only departs from the
camel under two cOnditions-when the
creature is grazing off the tender twigs of a
thorny acacia, if that can be properly called
grazing, and when it is dying. Then the
air of supreme disdain disappears. Indeed
no animal, whatever its ordinary character
puts on such pitiful look in ertremis as
the so-called ship of the desert. The dying
camel makes one feel even when one has
seen hundreds of them die, sick with
sympathetic sorrow. He does not seem
to suffer pain like an ordinary animal
when he is wounded, for he will
jog along, if the bones of his limbs be not
fractured, as silently as ever, till he drops
from exhaustion. He may have a hole in
his back into which you might put both fists
"a hole first caused by an ill-fitting pack
saddle, and then liberated by flies and dirt,
but you will not learn the fact from his
countenance or his gait. When he lies down
on his side it is no use to waste time on him /;
you will never get him on his legs again. or
get another hours work out of him. In
ten years experience of these brutes there
was only one occasion upon which a camel
that once lay on his side was seen upon his
feet again. and in that case he died during
the night. When he feels death approach
ing the mute agony of his visage is some
thing to remember, and not pleasant thing
if memory happens to recall it in the dark
ness of a lonely vigil.
